Your field records remain under your control.

The short version

AcreTrace does not require an online account for normal operation.

It does not contain advertising or analytics, and it does not send usage or diagnostic information back to AcreTrace.

What AcreTrace stores

Location and measurements

When you start a measurement, AcreTrace uses the device location while the relevant measurement or guidance screen is open.

A saved survey may contain:

• coordinates
• date and time information
• reported GPS/GNSS accuracy
• distances
• routes
• field boundaries
• calculated areas

Field information

You can choose to add:

• field names
• farm or holding names
• field references
• notes
• exclusions
• markers
• marker descriptions
• photographs

This can include commercially sensitive information about land you own, manage or work on, so treat exported files and backups accordingly.

App settings

AcreTrace stores settings such as your chosen units, marker and exclusion names, category preferences and backup status on the device.

These settings are not sent to AcreTrace.

Permissions

AcreTrace may ask Android for access to:

• Location
  Used while measuring or while live location guidance is active.
• Photographs
  Used when you choose a photograph to attach to a marker.
• Documents
  Used through Android's file picker when you create or restore an export, report or backup.

AcreTrace does not request background location access.

When you export or share something

You choose where an export, report or backup goes.

Exported files may include field locations, boundaries, notes, photographs or other information that you consider private or commercially sensitive.

If you choose to open or share that information using Google Earth, Google Maps, email, cloud storage or another application, that service's own privacy terms apply from that point.

AcreTrace does not choose the destination for you.

How long information stays on the phone

AcreTrace records remain in the app until you delete them, clear the application's data or uninstall AcreTrace.

Marker photographs held by AcreTrace are removed when the associated records are deleted.

Files that you have exported or backed up exist outside AcreTrace and must be deleted separately from wherever you chose to save them.

Android automatic application backup is disabled so AcreTrace field data is not silently transferred by the application.

Children

AcreTrace is a field-work utility intended for adults and is not designed or marketed for children.
